EDP / ETP

Josaphat Laboratory collaborates with Taiwan National Cheng Kung University (Prof Koh-ichiro Oyama) to develop Electron Density Probe (EDP) and Electron Temperature Probe (ETP). We plan to install these sensor on our microsatellites to observe electron density and temperature in-situ in Ionosphere (attitude 550 to 800 km). These sensors will be operated together with GNSS-RO and O3B Radio Occultation sensor that intall on our GAIA-I microsatellite. We hope these sensor could be employed for monitoring the weather phenomenon in troposphere, stratosphere and mesosphere, and total electron content in ionosphere. We will investigate the relationship of this phenomenon and global land deformation for Earthquake precursor mapping and increasing the accurate weather forecasting in the future.
